TORMAH.In the margin of Jdg_9:31 in Tormah is given as an alternative rendering of the Hebrew word translated craftily (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] privily). Some commentators have suggested that Tormah is a corruption of Arumah (Jdg_9:41).
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
Jdg_9:31, margin for "privily." The Septuagint, Chaldee, and Rashi translated "secretly"; Hebrew "in deceit," as he had listened to the speech quietly with apparent assent. But Kimchi "in Tormah" a misspelling for Arumah (Jdg_9:41).

Tor'mah. Tormah occurs only in the margin of Jdg_9:31. By a few commentators, it has been conjectured that, the word was originally, the same with Arumah in Jdg_9:41. See Arumah.

tôr?ma (תּרמה, tormāh, ?fraud?; Codex Vaticanus ἐν κρυφῇ, en kruphḗ, ?in secret,? Codex Alexandrinus μετὰ δώρων, metá dṓrōn, ?with gifts?): This name is given in EVm as an alternative to ?privily? , or ?craftily? the Revised Version (British and American) (Jdg_9:31). There is no knowledge of such a place. The text is corrupt.
